A Personal Approach

Audit Guarantee

Our Audit Guarantee is simple:

“If you get audited on one of our tax returns we will pay for a lawyer to attend the tax audit.”

This one of a kind guarantee was started when our company founder Emma J. Hilton, Esq. saw firsthand the difference her clients received when an attorney attended an audit verses a tax professional from one of those other companies. How do we do this? A portion of every tax return fee is put aside in our attorneys trust account to accommodate the anticipated cost of the Audit Guarantee.
